Bidenisms

Since the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, that would be the mainstream media, is all-in for Joe Biden, they will never report a story that makes Biden look bad. If you thought that the Chinese Communist Party purveys propaganda, now you know that it is not alone.

So, a man who is suffering from senile dementia, and who never gets facts right, is being defended by a media that denounces President Trump as a liar, every hour on the hour. For our purposes we will call Biden errors Bidenism. They are blatantly untrue, but people do not think he lies. The reason: they do not think that he knows the difference. As I said, dementia.

You don’t have to be a cynic to follow.

The Daily Caller reports this exchange between Biden and Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania, Wolf opened.

“I want to remind you that Delaware used to be part of Pennsylvania,” Wolf laughed.

Biden responded, the better to show off his ignorance of history and his inability to get the dates right:

“That’s right, but we declared our independence on December the 7th, by the way,” Biden replied.

The Daily Caller corrects him:

Delaware actually declared independence — both from Pennsylvania and British colonial rule — on June 15, 1776.

Referring to December 7, Biden added:

“That’s not just D-Day,Biden continued, still laughing.

The Daily Caller corrects:

The Allied invasion of Normandy, recognized as D-Day, actually took place on June 6, 1944. It was the Japanese airstrike on Pearl Harbor that took place on December 7, 1941.

The real date that the former vice president was likely trying to reference was the day that Delaware ratified the U.S. Constitution: December 7, 1787. It was on that date that Delaware became the first state in the newly-formed union.

If you would like to add some fun to your day, consider these Bidenisms, offered by Karl Rove in the Wall Street Journal this morning.

This is Biden speaking:

“What would I say? Remember when I said Biden can’t win? The primaries? I kicked everybody’s ass. Excuse me. I won overwhelming. I told you when I got to South Carolina, I won every single county. I won a larger share of the black vote than anybody has, including Barack. I increased the vote in Virginia overwhelmingly by 70%. Look, what people don’t know about me is I come from a state has the eighth-largest black population in America—the eighth-largest. I get 96% of that vote for the last 40 years. They’re the folks, as they say out my way, brung me to the dance. That’s how I got elected every single time and everybody’s shocked. I get overwhelming support from the black leadership, young and old. Every poll shows me way ahead and it’s not just—I hear this, ‘Oh yeah, old blacks are with Biden, but young aren’t.’ Look at the polling data. Polling data, let’s say it’s off by half. Come on, man. Give me a little break here,” and so on.

It is true that polling data seems today to be putting Biden in the lead. But, Rove corrects some of the other assertions:

Mr. Biden didn’t even attempt to describe the agenda he’d offer black voters. And he didn’t win a bigger share of black South Carolina Democrats than Barack Obama did; exit polls say that then-Sen. Obama took 78% of South Carolina’s black voters in the 2008 primary, compared with Mr. Biden’s 61% a dozen years later. Plus, Delaware doesn’t have “the eighth-largest black population in America.” It has the 33rd-largest.

Have a nice day!

Some variation of this is Biden's most repeated phrase, isn't it?

Even discounting his dementia, Joe Biden has the least Presidential speech patterns of anyone in my lifetime. He communicates the least also.
